Well, among all these good things, it has one bad thing: it's not open source! I have no idea what it would do to my device, and I don't know whom I should turn to in case of problems!

You may argue that Duokan team is very responsive on the problems, but who are behind the Duokan team? What if they just stop supporting?

I wouldn't install Duokan until they open source the project. On their forum, they said they would open source it step by step, but I would wait before that happens!
